    Baldur's Gate The Baldur's Gate Series Thread

    Yeah, they get praised there, found this too, that's what gave me the idea to throw in all these mods. I only played DSotSC many years ago but also remember it to be quite buggy and unbalanced and had some strange as fuck situations (for example I always wondered why the hell there is a elite...

    Baldur's Gate The Baldur's Gate Series Thread

    Playing POE for the first time, I feel bored (and furiously disgusted by the idiotic backer NPCs senslessly loitering around every corner) after two hours in, so I decided to replay BG1, the original one not the Beamdog EE disgrace. I installed the GOG-version made it run without graphical...

    KickStarter SKALD: Against the Black Priory - retro RPG inspired by Ultima - coming May 30th

    I can't help but aesthetics are an integral part of the pleasure and fun for me and from seeing the screenshots and gifs I feel absolutely no urge to play this game. All these graphical "refinements" killed the retro look. On one hand there are just too many details to let me feel any classic...

    KickStarter Broken Sword - Shadow of the Templars: Reforged - coming June

    So he felt the need to make that Syrian carpet seller more likeable and to remove George's option to kiss Nico while she is tied up. Ok. These scenes "always slightly worried" Cecil culturally... yeah sure. Even back in 1996? It's his game, isn't it? Why did he put the scenes in the game then...

    Realms of Antiquity: The Shattered Crown - Ultima-like retro RPG

    It was about time! I did my duty and threw in the first review.

    Incline First Person Perspective (FPP) Adventure Recommendations

    Yeah, that nefarious company. Don't know much about the background, only that they deleted or altered many parts (puzzles), splitted the game in three parts and sold them separately. An absolute disgrace. The Steam reviews reflect that.

    Incline First Person Perspective (FPP) Adventure Recommendations

    It is and should actually be purchased on GOG as it's the original game there, not the obscenely butchered, simplified shit Bigfish later re-released. Steam sells this crippled abomination.

    Indie Call of Saregnar - a Betrayal at Krondor-inspired RPG

    I've been pondering more about the new graphics. I can live with the 3D-elements (I actually think I understand your design decision about 3D) but I think I now know what's bothering me: It's the colors. The earlier version was generally brighter, but also there were more different nuances in...

    Incline First Person Perspective (FPP) Adventure Recommendations

    I'm a sucker for these KHEOPS/Microids games. They feature great 3D-graphics, well researched backgrounds and feel as if you play history. Hands down: One of the best games I've ever played. Why? Because it features a highly elaborate narrative, mixing history and myth in a unique way...

    Indie Call of Saregnar - a Betrayal at Krondor-inspired RPG

    Would it be possible to offer a "retro" mode to play without the more modern lighting effects? I guess not but I still like to ask.

    Indie Call of Saregnar - a Betrayal at Krondor-inspired RPG

    Thank you for your reply. I see your point and understand the decision from a creative perspetive but alas I do miss the stronger retro look very much. Yet I do hope this wonderful game isn't going the same road as Skald, losing piece of piece of it's retro look.

    Indie Call of Saregnar - a Betrayal at Krondor-inspired RPG

    I tried the new demo yesterday. I'm not quite sure what to think of the new graphical approach... To be honest I found the 2D-trees much more appealing and somehow more detailed and realistic (at least if you don't stand directly below and spin around like a madman), the more "modern" 3D-trees...

    Realms of Antiquity: The Shattered Crown - Ultima-like retro RPG

    I always played it hero style. I just like the idea of being that regular dude of our world that gets thrown in this whole mess against his own will and has to crawl out of it on his own. Discovering the potential party members is fun and their own backgrounds, as meagre as they may be, help me...

    The Crimson Diamond - inspired by The Colonel's Bequest

    No need for sorry! I always eager to learn and correct my rather halfbaked knowledge on these things. Thank you for taking the time to explain it indepth!
